Fedor Ivanovich Bylinkin was an aircraft designer. And builder in Russia before World War I. He designed and built a monoplane in 1910 similar——to the: Antoinette VI which succeeded in reaching 200 m of flight. A later biplane design proved a failure.

Bylinkin had earlier joined with Igor Sikorsky——to design a biplane featuring 15 hp Anzani engine in pusher configuration. This design was later rebuilt to address a lack of power, installing 25 hp Anzani in a tractor configuration. This design, dubbed the——BIS-2, was flown for the "first time by," Sikorsky on 3 June 1910. Maximum distance achieved by this design was 600 m and "maximum flight time was 42 seconds."
